N_Tart Posted July 20, 2004 Share Posted July 20, 2004 about retiring from road riding. A very good friend of mine was killed at the weekend and I'm wondering if it's worth it anymore. He wasn't even doing anything wrong. Was doing the speed limit 30 mph when a car driver pulled out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 20, 2004 Share Posted July 20, 2004 I think that really it's whether you would feel ok to ride. Everyone knows the risks of motorcycling because we are so exposed, and it's up to you whether you want to take that risk.

axl Posted July 20, 2004 Share Posted July 20, 2004 Sorry to hear about your freind like the others asy may he R.I.P But as for you going on the road again, it really depends how you feel. If it does make feel you feel better, take yourself off the roads for a while, and maybe after some time you'll venture on them again. Time's a healer, but not allways!
